The Sledge-Chair

The Saw-Pit.

It is dinner-time, and the children have just brought their father’s dinner to the saw-pit, and are spreading a clean cloth for him on a large log of wood.

Harriet is giving her little sister a ride in a sledge-chair, and she has got her mama’s muff to put her hands in. The rude schoolboys are stopping to quiz the funny chair, but Harriet does not mind their laugh, for she knows her little sister will like the ride.
